Yes, I too have a creative edge that helps me relax and gain some peace. I do emotion collages. Sometimes I pick a feeling and gather words and pics from magazines and put them all together to make a collage. It replaces journaling for me because I don't like to write a lot and pics are wortha thousands words. Sometimes I pucka happy them and collage around that.

I would like to add scrapbooking to my list lol. I have started a "happy book" where I basically collect all my best moments and greatest successes. It is not just for the fun moments but also for all those moments I overcame a major event and triumphed. So now I do scrapbooking lol Kinda fun i get to clor and play with stickers :P I am turning into a big kid again and it is great! Plus when I get sad or have a bad day i can look at my happy book and know I will be ok.
Anybody else wanna share a hobby feel free to let us know what makes you happy :)

I am so huge into creativity as a source of relaxation. I make jewelry, crochet, knit, do glass etching, and just about anything else I can get my hands on. I have to concentrate on what I'm doing, so the anxiety just fades away, plus I have some beautiful creations to boot. I mostly give them away as gifts, but I sell the jewelry because it's such an expensive hobby. I've been known to blow 300 dollars at the craft store buying supplies! But I'm very passionate about art and my crafts so the dollar amount doesn't even phase me anymore. I think it's worth every penny!
Ok in another thead aptly called dancing (Thanks Moochela for sharing :) )we have also added, you've guessed it lol Dancing to our list!
Now, if those aren't great options we have for fun and relaxing i don't know what would be lol. I personally intend to try a few new ones :)

Wow that sounds like a really nice and fun hobby. Are there any easy modles for beginners? I might be interested in trying one if it was for beginners :)
P.S: Sorry if the question sounds stupid i know nothing of how tough modelling can be, i just like the idea of kinda building something lol
-Diva
This may sound silly to most everyone, but I enjoy building model cars for relaxation (although at times, it can get frustrating! lol). I actually have a model spray paint booth, so I can paint anytime. I guess it's considered creative, as I create a model out of a pile of plastic. But anyways, it really helps pass the time, and helps me relax.
